Intro Those who’ve met me know I can bore for England on Second Life – e.g. people laugh when they hear my SL avatar is called Tandoorichicken Masala. You might have seen this summary of virtual world-related posts (on this blog) I put together recently. I really should check out some other virtual worlds, but […]

Mega quick post (that I may well update) to capture any comments you goodly people might have about this preso. The story is that I have been invited to speak at the DFK UK & Ireland Annual Conference on the 2 October at the Marine Hotel in Troon (www.barcelo-hotels.co.uk/marine-hotel/) This is my draft presentation to […]

Introduction I’ve been invited to take part in a roundtable event by RMT – my accountants. This is an excerpt from the invite: Getting the north east trading online @ RMT Gosforth on the 24th Sept 09 The aim of the day is to discuss how we can help get more north east based business […]

This post describes the work around the new SCL identify, and how you can get involved. Introduction I’ve asked Steve and the Gang at Fat Frog to draw up the identity for Souter Consulting.

Intro For those of you who follow me via my @souterconsults account, you will have seen me have a paddy on this Friday last. That’s because my WP instance got hacked. Meh :$ So, I thought it would be useful to update anyone interested with a quick run-down, as it sets the scene for any […]

I use Windows Live Writer, and was pretty much doing what it says above. It’s gone out via Twitter, so in case anyone’s wondering – you now have your explanation! ;-)

I’ve decided to take part in Byte Night, a rather good Tech Industry fund-raiser, probably because I’ve seen photos of Jenny Agutter in Computing each year, and think it might be a good laugh. Speak it softly, but I’m sort of looking forward to donning a whole load of technical gear, as my interest in […]
